Chief Financial OfficerJOINED CCHCI IN 2002Why I Believe in the Mission of CCHCI

I believe in CCHCI’s mission because I know it makes a difference in everyday people’s lives. My community is healthier. I believe because I can see my family, friends, co-workers and neighbors living longer and better lives because of the quality healthcare provided to them regardless of their financial situation.

Gary'S BACKGROUND

My passions have, for as long as I can remember, been in Accounting, Business, Finance, Economics, etc. Since I was an adolescent balancing the family check book, I have loved taking care of “the books.” Since getting my accounting degree from the University of Akron, I purposefully directed my employment to obtain as diverse a background as possible in all types of business. I worked in managing personnel and profitability; in banking setting rates and creating new financial products; and in contracting and negotiating with purchasing agents.

I became a Certified Public Accountant and managed the business operations of the IT department of a very large corporation. I really had no conscious idea where this was leading me. I just knew that I was happy and loved what I was doing. I love helping fulfill the dreams of the dreamers. I have never been a visionary; I am better suited to making another’s vision that I truly believe in, a reality. And so, I find myself here at CCHCI at the peak of my knowledge and expertise. I will help us be the best of the best.
